Hi,
I'm currently having a look on how to "centralize" all syslogs for all VM and CT.
I'm still on the "proof-of-concept" phase:

I have a dedicated CT receiving all logs and record them in a DB.
I have to figure how to "use" them... a simple cli ( like journalctl ) would be fine, but a nice gui would be better...( graylog? 😉 )

Anyway, the question is : HOW to have something like "rsyslog" (standard debian package) running in HAOS ?
Thx.

tbh (and i am happy to be corrected on this by someone who knows more) the most likely answer is that "you don't"
you could try building a container and setting it up as a privileged addon and running from there but i am not convinced it would work the way you would want it to work..

HAOS is "just enough OS to run home assistant"

You could try your luck with a feature request so one can modify the systemd logger to send stuff too.
